Abstract

A shaving system includes a platform member with a support surface that has a plurality of apertures therein and guard structure integral therewith and disposed forwardly of the support surface, a cap member with a plurality of post elements for disposition in the apertures in the support structure, a primary blade member having a planar body and a cutting edge, a secondary blade member having a planar body and a cutting edge, each blade member having a plurality of apertures and at least two of the apertures having spaced locating surfaces for positioning engagement with the post elements, and a plurality of discrete spacer members disposed on the post elements and between the primary and secondary blade members. The post elements extend through the apertures in the blade members, the spacers and the platform member and preferably are mechanically deformed to secure the primary and secondary blade members with their cutting edges in spaced parallel relation in a fixed shaving geometry. The spacer members maintain predetermined vertical spacing between the cutting edges of the primary and secondary blade members and the post elements maintain predetermined lateral spacing of the blade edges of the primary and secondary blade members relative to the guard structure.
